Banana Bread Waffles

Recipe adapted from Mother Thyme.

We all decided we would rather have just banana bread or waffles rather than this hybrid.  If you're looking for a variation, this definitely tastes just like banana bread hot off the waffle iron.


2 cups whole wheat flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1 cup milk
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp vanilla extract

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a medium bowl, mix milk, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients until smooth and combined.

Follow waffle maker instructions to cook waffles.

Top as desired.


Tips and Hints:
*I tend to use whole wheat flour instead of white flour whenever possible.  I personally think it tastes better, and it's so much healthier.  If you don't like as wheaty a flavor or texture, you can divide the flour between wheat or white as desired.
*This makes a very thick waffle batter.  Don't overfill your waffle maker or you'll have batter everywhere.
*I used my stand mixer to mix the batter and didn't bother mashing the bananas.  Just throw them in whole and let the mixer mash as it mixes.
*You can top these with maple syrup, fruit and whipped cream, or butter and cinnamon sugar.  Or you could channel Elvis and put peanut butter on top!
